It makes sense. I proposed this change to help me solving a problem described here (https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/10/3/707), and for this it was enough if it didn't build when "make drivers/s390/" was called. Sorry I didn't send the e-mail with the reason earlier. For solving my problem it was not necessary, but if you think it's interesting, I could refactor all drivers/s390 Makefiles to make them all build only if we are dealing with the s390 architecture. What do you think? Thanks for the reply, Leonardo Bras
